We prepurchased our tickets so had an easier time when our cruise ship docked in Alesund. The route was interesting visually and the recorded description of what we were seeing was informative and well done. We found the busses ran often enough that we didn’t have to wait ling to hop back on. We enjoyed our day in Alesund very much

We did hoho in most of the places. We sat for the entire a route in Bergen. But in Alesund there are fewer stops, so we just hopped off at the city center, spend some time there then walked up to the church, then catch the bus to the aquarium. Make sure you go to the aquarium. It’s the largest aquarium in northern Norway. It’s so much fun to watch the feeding of seals, otters and penguins. There are two tour bus companies doing hoho. When purchasing tickets, make sure to know the company name. Some reviews complained about the confusion. It’s not a problem for me at all. I bought from AS company. It’s $9 cheaper per ticket and do the same thing as City Sightseeing. The company name is clearly posted at the booth and on each bus. Bus come frequently and you can track them too buy scanning the QR code on the map. Love Get Your Guide. Bought many tickets from them, same price as the direct company. Have no problem to redeem the vouchers to the actual tickets.

A wee bit fast so it made it hard to get a good view and then it was pretty late at the stops…but the route is excellent and many options to stop at main attractions. We stopped at the mountain and the aquarium- both excellent! Would recommend as it is good value for your money
